The Democratic Senatorial Campaign Committee has released an advertisement Tuesday that previews how down-ticket Republican candidates will face attacks over their support of Donald Trump.

The DSCC brands 13 potential GOP senate nominees as “reTRUMPlicans.” This includes incumbents like New Hampshire Sen. [crscore]Kelly Ayotte[/crscore] and people running for Senate for the first time like Rep. [crscore]David Jolly[/crscore].

The video includes candidates saying they will support the eventual Republican nominee, while showing clips of Trump swearing. (RELATED:Ad In Arizona Previews What Senators Will Face With Trump Nomination)

WATCH:

The DNC previously used the phrase “reTRUMPlican” in July when it released an ad connecting other GOP presidential hopefuls to Trump’s anti-immigrant rhetoric.
